My 09 Tacoma Double Cab Stereo Install

Carpet is easy to get out . The Headliner is tricky and you have to be careful if you not taking out the rear window or windshield .

 

Wow great job!

 

I will be doing all of this to my truck soon (still waiting on some parts). I will definitely be referencing your work! Excellent job!

 

Er... that is everything but the supercharger (I don't have that kind of money ).

 

great job, excellent quality!

 

Looks great! love the amp placement.

 

I hate you so much right now! Gauges, custom mount TV, playstation, dvd player, 2 amps, 2 subs, AND a supercharger?!??!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're so damn fortunate it's not even funny...looks awesome...so jealous.

 

Wow, thats an awesome set up... thats something I was thinking, for the subs. but wasn't sure if it was do able... now that I saw that, I am going to get the guy I deal with to check it out and make me something like that...

 

monte1985 where did get your sub box at? I've seen similar ones on ebay but not sure if u have the same one or not....Great truck!!!!

 

Did you have to modify the storage boxes to house the amps?

 

Awesome question, I am wondering the samething, but I don't want to take the plastic off the back of my seats since I do put things on it in the summer, weather its my dog, or tools for work, or whatever I still need the plastic.. Did you buy the box or build it?

 

Great job, How much time did it take you to complete? I am intertested in the guage pod and guages. Where did you get them and how well does the guage pod match the pillar.

 

I did get my box off of ebay. I paid $89 for it shipped . Was not worth the time or money to build it .

Yes i did . If you looked in the pics of the install i had to cut some of the metal to get them to fit and also i took the the plastic off the storage bins. Pretty much its just the doors and the little plastic ring that the door hinges are on . I cut the rest of the plastic away.

Took me about 2 weeks with working on it a few hours after work each night and then 3 days straight. The gauge pod is a lotek gauge pod . I got it from Gaugepods.com. The color is a nice match . The fit is ok . Had to do some trimming on the handle and the handle opening to get it to fit right . Also had to put a few washers behind the handle to space it out . The gauges are glowshift gauges . Many people say they are junk . But so far the do the job for the price.

 

Like i said i bought the box on ebay . I had to take the plastic off the seats cause it hit the subs. But this probably happened from soundproofing it and it pushed the box out a little . I have my seat overs on now so you dont see it .

 

personally the voltage gauge is pretty useless information, i would have installed a wideband o2 gauge. i went to the website and the gauges dont look that bad, i especially like the analog wideband gauge.
i would not have bought these gauges for the simple fact they dont make a vac/boost gauge with a max boost of 15 psi or less. for the fact the TRD SC only puts out about 5-7 psi it seems worthless to use only a small fraction of the gauge and the fact the numbers are a lot closer together the ability to read the accuracy is a lot less. i think i am going with the stock TRD gauge in my truck. it seems well suited for the application and its made by auto meter.

 

First off, awesome write up. You have a beautiful truck.

About how much deadener did you use for the install?
I am looking to do the same to my truck.

Do you have any tips or rather any snags you ran into
while working on this?

Thanks and rep sent.

Huge Props bro!!! That looks sweat !!

 

where did you get the gauges and the holder from

 

I know this is an old thread, but this is one of the most impressive installs I've seen online. I'm angry, because this makes me feel like an asshole, since I was pretty proud of my own work yet I got SMOKED.. I think it's good to be humbled every once in a while to remind all of us that: Somewhere, someone out there is doing things better than you..

With all this said, i still like my install a lot too
Good job, holy crap man..

 

Just wanted to subscribe to this thread to refence to it when the time comes for me to do my system. Deff looking to do a similar set up. Great work man!!! Mad props!!
